(The WebGL is more up-to-date but wasn't included as a Jam submission) Thanks, GameDev&Design
I liked the concept..but I couldn't run it the .exe
It seems like a lot of people are getting an error when trying to run the game, and the only reason I can think of is not having the correct VC redistribution installed. The runtime is from around 2010/11, which I think should be VC redist 10(ish.) This version should work? If not, I'm kind of at a loss, the engine works perfectly on my Windows 11 machine, but with how old it is it wouldn't surprise me if it has some obscure dependency I only have because I like messing with old software like this. https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/Download/confirmation.aspx?id=26999
I wanted to try it... unfortunately it is not possible
i get this when i try to run it, I am on windows 10 if that matters
It looks like you're missing a runtime that I'm not, but I'm not really sure how to figure out which one. I assume it's a VC error, in which case it should be version 10(ish?) Installing a VCredist from around 2010/11 should fix that, I think microsoft has been releasing ones with security updates as well.
Okay, I'm admittedly not sure I've played nearly all of what there is on offer here, but I've had fun with it and gotten the general idea at this point. I actually am having a lot of fun with the concept here. Though, unless I'm missing something, there isn't any sound, which is a shame because it'd probably be nice to have some driving sounds in this, but I actually like the art style, the driving physics are a bit janky but it's fun to try to platform around with a car like this.
Would love to see a more fleshed out version of this some day, actually! Actually had a lot of fun with what I did play of it.
Yeah, no sound unfortunately, I had no idea how with this engine lol and I didn't have time to find out. That said, I'm planning on revamping the level design and redoing it in a better engine, so keep your eyes peeled. Assuming ADHD doesn't get the better of this project anyway.
That was super cool. Got it running on PC no problem. But I got to the green level, grabbed the second block, and then set a checkpoint at the base of the ramp to the white level, missed my jump, respawned, and then the camera got stuck in the wall and I had to quit the game. So sad. Nice work though! But I really wish there was audio
I get an error when I try to run your game.
What error? I didn't have an issue running it on Windows 11, but that's the only platform I tested it on.
I will check later after work or during my break. Do you by chance also have a web or mac build I could try?
No, the engine doesn't support that unfortunately. the engine was definitely the biggest roadblock in the development of this game lol
I actually never heard of that engine before :D brave move to make a game in that.
Is this intended for playing on PC? It doesn't seem to run when I try to run ExplorerDrone.exe.
Same issue when downloading for PC
It was fully tested on Windows 11, does nothing happen when you try to run it or do you get an error?
I believe I was missing a redistributable, I'll install that and get back to you. This looks like the only game with a car in it so I gotta try it out
i like cars 2
